> When I connected using pgadmin I still got the sp_user error. Fedora 3? You should've mentioned that before. I'll bet you've got SELinux enabled in enforcement mode. SELinux interferes with initdb and I believe a missing pg_user view is one of the symptoms. This is fixed in the very latest postgresql and selinux-policy-targeted RPMs (u need both), but the path of least resistance is often to dial SELinux down to permissive mode (sudo /usr/sbin/setenforce 0) for long enough to do the initdb. If you're running SELinux in strict rather than targeted policy, good luck ... I honestly haven't tried that one at all ... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
